The movie

A young cop with the wind in his sails, Eros flings himself with determination into solving a sinister case of burnt corpses. The case also interests Janus, a narcoleptic reporter who tries by this means to regain the trust of his boss and the love of his wife. Supernatural events make them understand that only one of them will get out alive... Nourished on American cinema, former film critic Joko Anward calls on film noir, but shakes the old genre up, adding fantastic elements inspired by an ancestral Indonesian legend. With a solid backdrop of social criticism, Kala is a thriller with a retro-kitsch ambiance with a slew of surprising and effective twists.
